The Florida Ban on Texting While Driving Law, signed by Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday, gives Osceola County law enforcement the power to combat the biggest distraction on the road.

The law makes texting while driving a secondary offense. This means that after pulling a driver over for reckless driving, speeding, or any other offense, the officer also can add points to the drivers license if texting was linked to the first offense. Officers also can search cell phone records if the accident resulted in an injury or death.

Texting while driving is a known danger to the public. This law will help us to enforce and educate those offenders in an attempt to make our roadways safer, said Osceola Sheriff Bob Hansell.

Before the law, there was very little law enforcement could do to specifically crack down on texting while driving. In many incidents, officers only could write down the cause as a distraction. With this new law, officers will have a small foothold in reducing this distraction, and also opens the state to stricter laws concerning cell phone use while driving in the future.

As a father and a grandfather, texting while driving is something that concerns me when my loved ones are on the road. The 100 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are known as the deadliest days on the road for teenagers. We must do everything we can at the state level to keep our teenagers and everyone on our roads safe. I cannot think of a better time to officially sign this bill into law, said Gov. Rick Scott in a press release on Tuesday.

A driver who texts while on the road is 23 times more likely to get into a crash than a driver that doesnt text, according to the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.

And cell phone distraction also counts for 18 percent of fatalities on the road, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Florida Ban on Texting While Driving Law will be go into effect Oct. 1.

Has our hurricane season luck run out?

Meteorologists, emergency operations personnel and informed Central Floridians will spend the next six months with their eyes to the skies and seas as the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season begins today.

Last year, Central Florida received brushes from Tropical Storms Debby and Isaac and a glancing blow from Hurricane Sandy as it skirted up the coast on its way to devastating the Mid-Atlantic.

The last time Florida was affected by a landfalling hurricane was Wilma in 2005, one year after a train of storms etched forever in residents minds Charley, Frances and Jeanne struck Osceola County in succession.

As forecasters predict an active storm season, the chances of Florida being in the crosshairs increase. Colorado State Universitys William Gray and Philip Klotzbach, call for a potentially hyperactive season with 18 named storms, nine hurricanes, four major hurricanes. They cite above-average sea surface temperatures in main development areas, low wind shear and a lack of El Nio conditions developing in the peak of the season to enhance tropical cyclone activity.

According to the duos other research, in a given year Orange and Osceola counties have a 16.7 percent chance of receiving tropical storm-force gusts (up to 74 mph), 4.6 percent chance of hurricane gusts (up to 110 mph) and 1.7 percent chance of major hurricane gusts (over 111 mph).

Updated for this year, Florida has a 71 percent chance of being impacted by a hurricane this year and a 34 percent chance of being hit by a major hurricane (Category 3-5), numbers higher than average climatology (51 and 21).

With the active storm months approaching, Gov. Rick Scott called on Florida families to form a plan now to keep loved ones safe should a hurricane strike Florida.

The football coaching positions at Celebration and Liberty high schools were filled Friday.

Ocoee defensive coordinator Dennis Thomas is the new Celebration High football coach. Former offensive coordinator, Cory Johns from Davenport Ridge Community, accepted the Liberty job.

"He has a good pedigree. I see him as a young man who is motivated to get the job done; he has a fire in his belly," Lisby said.

Thomas, 32, played at Orlando Evans, where he was a safety, and he also played at Florida A&M.

He was a volunteer at elebration this spring. He was hired by former Storm Coach Ed Meierkort, he said, shortly before Meierkort was dismissed by former Principal Laura Rhinehart.

"This job is very interesting to me because the more I was around here, the more I liked it. I fell in love with kids, the school, the parents, the principal and the AD," he said. "It's a great situation."

Thomas plans to bring Olympia assistant coach Raul Gomez to Celebration as his offensive coordinator.

"Raul was at Olympia when they beat us for the district championship. He is definitely the one I want to run our offense," Thomas said.
